What is a lapis lazuli bracelet worn for?
A lapis lazuli bracelet is traditionally worn for clear thinking, honest communication and wisdom. Lapis belongs to the third eye and throat chakras and is linked with Sagittarius and Libra. It has been prized for thousands of years, ground into ultramarine pigment and set in royal jewellery. It is softer and more porous than quartz, so keep it out of water and away from perfume.

What is lapis lazuli?
Lapis lazuli is a rock rather than a single mineral: deep blue lazurite mixed with white calcite and flecks of golden pyrite. The gold flecks are a sign of natural lapis. It measures 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale and is commonly found in Afghanistan, Chile and Russia. Every Crystal Basket bead is natural and undyed, so colour and pattern vary from bead to bead.
Which wrist do you wear lapis lazuli on?
Wear lapis lazuli on the right wrist. It is a stone of expression and speaking up, and tradition gives outward-going energy to the right side.
How do you cleanse a lapis lazuli bracelet?
Cleanse lapis lazuli when it arrives and about once a month: overnight in moonlight, on a selenite plate for a few hours, or in palo santo, sage or oud smoke. Lapis is porous and its pyrite flecks can tarnish, so keep it away from water, sweat and perfume. It is sun safe, so a short spell on a bright windowsill does no harm. Full cleanse and care guide.
What does lapis lazuli pair well with?
Lapis Lazuli is often worn beside clear quartz, labradorite and amethyst. Every bracelet is 8 mm, so any of them stack evenly on the same wrist.
